Description
1838-C Half Eagle, HM-1, XF40
Sole Charlotte Issue of Type
1838-C $5 HM-1, High R.4, XF40 PCGS. The 1838-C half eagle
is an important Charlotte Mint type coin, since there is no
alternative to obtain the Classic half eagle design from the
Southern facility. The mintage was a mere 17,179 pieces, yet two
die pairs are known. HM-1 is slightly less rare than its
alternative HM-2. The present example retains considerable
lemon-gold luster within the motifs and about the stars and
letters. The open fields and high points display electric-blue and
orange toning. Careful inspection reveals a few marks, although
only a diagonal line above the upper arrowhead merits mention.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25S5, Variety PCGS# 765254, Base PCGS# 8177, Greysheet# 376252)
